-
Oaten hay demand from China: 1.5 – 2 million MT per annum (accelerating in the past 5 years and cannot be met in Australia alone)
-
Australia’s brand strength has increased share of production for fodder: Product traceability, quality and lack of contamination underpin the favourable reputation of Australian agricultural exports leading to major export expansion.
-
Oaten hay is a desirable export product: Australian producers primarily export oaten hay, which improves milk production. Oaten hay has high demand worldwide as a reliable, high quality fodder that meets stringent animal production requirements.
-
Wingara advantage: Under the Free Trade Agreement with China, only oaten hay from Australia is allowed to be imported

Protein Market Update
-
Domestic consumption of red meats, particularly lamb and mutton, has been on a downward trend in recent years.
-
The share of red meat production destined for export has risen as a result
-
Given a greater reliance on exports, the meat industry has seen disruption from COVID-19 and logistical issues such as port strike action in 2020
-
Total meat exports to key Asian markets continue to rise year-on-year

Rainfall Report
-
Higher-than-expected rainfall prior to harvest has proved challenging for many growers across VIC and SA.
-
Reports of weather-damaged hay have been received in some key areas.
-
Quality hay is expected to come at a higher premium than anticipated
-
Equally, exported product is likely to trade at a discount, particularly given slow domestic demand
